Honoring Joe Pineda

In the heart of every community, there are unsung heroes whose love and generosity become a beacon of hope for many. Joe Pineda was one such hero. His belief that "housing is healthcare" and dedication to civil rights equality left an indelible mark on the lives he touched. While his untimely passing in 2023 left a profound void, his legacy of love and dignity continues to inspire.


​Joe Pineda lived with an abundance of love. He shared this generously with his family, friends, and across communities where he lived and worked. His untimely death in 2023 is a profound loss for all who knew him. In his professional career, he worked as a realtor to find people their dream homes. As a volunteer, he championed civil rights equality and a vision that housing is healthcare. Joe innately understood that whether it was helping someone to buy their first condo or creating a pathway out of homelessness, everyone deserves to be treated with dignity.

Transforming Lives Through Compassion and Community

The Story of Joey's Place

The Fund for Joey’s Place is established to rename a transitional housing apartment complex located at 1096-98 Young Street in Honolulu. This facility is owned and operated by Gregory House Programs, providing safe housing and links to a wide array of care and supportive services for men and women exiting homelessness. The goal is to build skills and heal trauma so that a person can get on their way to stable permanent housing.
